کُپّتی
kuppatti
vicious, ill-natured woman; specifically targeted at women who disrupt domestic harmony by voicing grievances.
Punjabi
Compound of the prefix ku- meaning bad, ill or wrong, and patt, meaning dignity or good behavior. Implies someone "lacking dignity or proper conduct."
This word was used by one of the aunts of my husband to label me. She was unnecessarily pestering me about having a second child so that my daughter would have company. I just told her that having a second child was a decision me and my husband would take when we were ready. She said to my mother-in-law, “your bahu is really kupatti. She gets angry very quickly. I was just making a harmless suggestion and she got angry."
